Lewis was arrested on charges of capital murder in the death of police officer Jimmie Norman and Bellaire business owner Terry Taylor, 66, for the Dec. 24 shooting.

Lewis did not appear at Wednesday's hearing.

The shooting stemmed from a traffic stop after Lewis sped away as Norman tried to pull him over for a traffic violation.

A short chase ended in a southwest Houston parking lot where theystruggled, investigators said. Lewis then allegedly shot the corporal. Seconds later, Taylor was shot when he emerged from his business to check on the commotion.
